Witch’s Thought
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Defiant, Friendship, Mystery, Spiritual
This is about having a thought or belief that you realize it wrong. Something you held value in and later realized wasn’t worth the value you gave it. I named it Witches Thought because it refers to how Witches were often burned for being something that couldn’t be understood.
 Witch’s Thought
This thought I held so true
So deeply it drove me mad
Completely without question
My regret now knows how wrong
Â
It burned me oh so badly
So scornfully it seared my mind
Completely with lack of compassion
My soul now knows it does not belong
Â
It made me cry so sadly
So deeply I feared it’s loss
Completely with all my passion
This thought I held so true
Unbreakable
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Loss, Mystery, Regret, Spiritual
I hate this feeling of glass
I fear it day and night
I hold myself from pushing too far
I despise that this is my freedom
I dare not break this thing I made
I keep it to protect my life apart
I damn myself for loving others
I care for those I see
I confess my will has broken me
I hear the beating of my heart
I touch it from within
I realize I am alone
I am held within this box
I know it cannot be destroyed
I see my efforts failed
I feel the cracks which distort my view
I cry from knowing this prison
I view my world with this broken glare
I wish my sight was whole
I know it distorts who I am
I do not reflect within this mirror
I try so hard to be myself
I want my voice to be so clear
I only wish to feel the touch
I see the world I want to reach
I am always feeling this space alone
I cannot touch this world in view
I deny this world to be touched by curse
I attempt to reach and always fail
I believe this pain will never break
Lady Frost, A Hope
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Mystery, Romantic, Spiritual
So far gone this feeling
Breathing wrong, barely seeing
Hands so cold I can’t get warm
Watching the ice break oaths I’ve sworn
I would have kept this word
Indeed my breath has tried so hard
A chilling world broke my body
Trying so desperately to keep my life
Lady Frost cut me with her sword
And like the women I love
She looks at me and fails to realize
Dear Lady, do you know I cannot move
Yet I live by merely keeping my soul alive
I would raise my head above and speak to you in words
But my lips have the only warmth you never feel
Mistress of the realm so chilling
Would I dare to tell you my heart still beats
Could this desire to live be your only fear
As you cannot see my motionless frozen tears
I am so warm without this feeling you cannot touch
But I keep my secret deeply within me
Hoping that one day you can feel this warmth
The Dream
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Mystery, Spiritual
I wish I could cry
Never had to worry about what I need
To try a bit of forever I can’t see
Can this world be what I’ll be
A place that simply doesn’t know me
I’m more than a name
Something more than what should be
Never cry of losing
As I fly to what I dream
Blind stranger
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Mystery, Spiritual
A voice leads you to utopia
You, the blind beggar lost to himself
Waiting patiently as you hold your sign
Hoping that your cup will not be left empty
Dreaming of a vision you had seen as a child
When your eyes had not betrayed you
When your spirit was learning how to fly
Standing silently with your cane touching the world
You perhaps cannot see
But you will always feel
Life
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Daily thoughts, Mystery
Commotion
Life bristling with action
Trying
to be complete before it is gone
Moments
of time left to no witness
Fading
as they are consumed by forgetting
Truth
so bodly confessing every action
Blindness
that we simply fail to see
Raw
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Inquisitive, Loss, Mystery, Spiritual
I have known individuals with a thought about what it was like to be suicidal. I am not a religious person; however I am very spiritual in my thoughts. I wanted to write how I felt about the subject, to explore the feeling a little in my own head.
 ***********************************************
This razor’s edge feels so fine
I can feel it bleed me
This chance to meet the divine
Why does this feel so unkind
Will I stay or heed his words
Are these desires or my need
Do they truly taste like sand or wine
This thought my spite and so be freed
Tempting
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Inquisitive, Mystery
I thought about this in the idea that there are some things that yearn to be touched. So tempting that you want to desperately touch it and feel how solid it is. These “things” are textural in many ways and they inspire not only the sense of touch, but the other senses as well. I had to write about this idea and the thought.
 ***********************************************
Tempting
Â
The touch
           So glamorous it’s feel
The sight
           So tempting of desire
The smell
           So alluring to resist
The sound
           So pure for wanting
The thought
           So inescapable to deny
Disbelief
Posted by Barry Hurd in Author's Favorites, Coffee - Volume One, Love, Mystery
Finding real beauty of outright simplicity and incomparable features
Of charming flaws and details which can never go unnoticed
Possessing subtle variations that are by themselves memorable
Viewing simply makes you wonder if this is a figment of desire
Chance occurrence that beauty such as this exist defies imagination
It warms your soul and inspires you to gently caress it in disbelief
Touching lets you know this isn’t a dream but is indeed extraordinary
The vibrant sensation you feel is your heart breaking the denial it exist
Hearing that such beauty has a voice enlightens your senses
You tell yourself such remarkable qualities do not happen in reality
Everything you know to be true says that you are dreaming
Yet somehow this is unmistakingly real and effortlessly tangible
This transcendent dream is standing in front of you in essence
You are simply touching something that shouldn’t exist
Your Gift
Posted by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Mystery
You have no idea what gift I received
Wrapped in all this wonderful paper
I thought it was oddly humorous
As if I was getting a joke gift from my family
I shook and jostled it near my ear
Tapped it against my knee and dropped it to the floor
I thought about all the things you could give me
Glared at it menacingly as I pondering it’s contents
Then I realized exactly what it was
It didn’t have any weight or substance
This present you gave me wasn’t merely paper
But I took so much more from it than that
It was empty of items and yet filled with feeling
It warmed my heart and made me smile
I found it making me want what only you could give
Yet slyly I found it giving what I could want
Thank you for remembering
